Land disposal
Selling a site is a question of reaching the right buyers, not the most buyers. We know which operators are expanding, which developers are buying and which funders are backing them, and we run a process that gets to the best deliverable offer rather than the highest headline figure.
What it involves
Preparing the site
Collecting the title, planning, technical and legal information a serious buyer will ask for, so the process does not stall later.
Pricing and structure
Advising on what the site should achieve and whether an unconditional sale, a conditional contract or a joint venture will produce the best outcome.
Targeted marketing
Direct approaches to the operators, developers and investors whose requirements match, alongside wider marketing where it adds value.
Running the process
Managing viewings, questions, bids and best-and-final offers, and testing each bidder’s ability to complete.
Operator covenant
For a care or retirement scheme, the strength of the operator who will run it affects what a developer or investor will pay. SMR Land considers this when selecting bidders.
Exchange and completion
Coordinating solicitors on both sides and keeping the transaction moving until it completes.
Who it is for
Landowners with a consented or allocated site and no wish to develop it themselves.
Developers who have secured planning and want to sell the site or the scheme to an operator or investor.
Operators disposing of surplus land or a closed home.
Administrators, trustees and lenders who need a transparent, well-documented sale.
Common questions
Do you sell sites without planning?
How is your fee charged on a sale?
Will my site be marketed openly?
Sectors this applies to
Discuss a sale.
Whether you own land, act for someone who does, or need sites for a scheme, you deal with us directly from the first conversation, straightforward and without obligation.
